Rangers signed RHP Jamey Wright to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Wright, who turned 40 in December, pitched for the Dodgers last season, posting a 4.35 ERA in 70 1/3 innings. He also made one start late in the year, so he could give the Rangers some versatility depending on how they want to utilize him. As it is, he'll have to earn his way onto the roster in some capacity in spring. Feb 14 - 4:21 PM

Jamey Wright will start for the Dodgers against the Cubs on Sunday.

With Hyun-Jin Ryu unavailable, the Dodgers have to get creative so they'll make Sunday's start more of a bullpen day, with Wright getting the call to start it off. Sat, Sep 20, 2014 05:00:00 PM

Wright has landed his first major league contract since 2005. It's well deserved, as the 39-year-old owns a 3.40 ERA in 132 relief appearances over the past two seasons. Tue, Dec 24, 2013 02:52:00 PM

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers have signed reliever Jamey Wright to a one-year deal.

No word yet on the terms involved, but he's likely to land his first major league contract since 2005. Wright, 39, posted a 3.09 ERA and 65/23 K/BB ratio over 70 innings of work with the Rays this past season. He previously pitched with the Dodgers in 2012. Mon, Dec 23, 2013 05:40:00 PM

Shin-Soo choo (elbow, ankle) is progressing nicely in his rehab and admits to feeling "too good" as spring training nears.

The veteran outfielder is already doing full baseball activities and shouldn't have any limitations when spring training begins. He's looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2014 campaign where he slashed just .242/.340/.374 with 13 homers and 40 RBI in 123 games in his first season as a Ranger.

Harrison, who is recovering from spinal fusion surgery, has previously been limited to throwing from 90 feet. He's making progress, but the Rangers aren't expecting him to be ready to contribute until around late May.

The Rangers are expecting Martin Perez (elbow) to rejoin the rotation in July.

Perez has expanded his throwing program to 120 feet and plans to mix in some changeups with his fastball next week. The club says he's ahead of his rehab timetable from Tommy John surgery at the moment, though obviously he still has a long ways to go. "I feel like the ball is going fast," Perez said. "I’m doing good. I’m throwing every day again. I just want to do everything good, take my time and come back and help my team."
